Music, music, music

I love music!! Since I was a kid, I've always been around music. My dad plays mandolin in a bluegrass group, and he also plays guitar. I can remember as a child going to hear my dad play. It was in those early years that I really fell in love with music.

I play a little of everything myself. A dab of piano, a little drums, some guitar, but mostly I'm a bass player. I know, a different cat. Everybody wants to be a guitar player. Why? I guess cause it's supposedly "cooler", but not for me. I love bass and everything about it. I started playing about 4 years ago, and it is one of my favorite pasttimes.

I have a recording session tonight, so I guess that's why this came to mind today. The studio is one of the most fun places I can think of. The thrill of taking a song and each individual instrument and molding it into something that sounds good....well, that's just magic for someone like me. If I were good enough to be a full-time studio player, that's what I'd be. Oh well, maybe someday. Until next time, hold down the low-end.....

You are a great musician Michael. I am always amazed at easliy you pick up a tune and can play it with only minimal practice. YOu amaze me each time I hear you play--which is pretty often. That's it. You amaze me alot!! I love you!

It's great that you have found a way to do what you really enjoy doing. I can tell how much you enjoy doing it when I see you play. It's a wonderful gift!
